A New Approach to Moderation at Websleuths

[TMich6811]

I appreciate that you’re listening.
I feel this will get out of hand and be far too difficult to moderate.

IMO it’s more about consistency and tone between moderators and threads and less about letting stuff through that goes against websleuths foundations. I’d hate to see what websleuths was founded on changed, personally.

Thank you though, it’s nice to see you trying to solve problems and make people comfy

Just to throw my two cents in, fwiw.

The reason I became a member of this site is because it's a refuge from the absolute garbage commodity that true crime has become on social media sites. Victim blaming, conspiracy theories, rampant rumors from dubious news sources or individuals, and just flat out meanness is the norm, not the exception, in most Facebook and Reddit true crime discussions. I sincerely appreciate and value the Webslueths ethos. Webslueths is an oasis from the nonsense that much of the internet has become.

I fear that some of the changes being proposed could water down the ingredients that make Webslueths so special to me.

I totally agree with you on this.
Fact based, victim friendly, the absence of just plain out rudeness is what set Websleuths apart from other sites.
